Protocol nopens de verkeerstekens
1. The sign “Level-Crossing with Gates” (I, 8) shall be used as the approach sign for every level-crossing with gates and for every level-crossing equipped with staggered half-gates on either side of the railway track.
2. The sign “Level-Crossing without Gates” (I, 9) shall be used as the approach sign for every level-crossing without either gates or half-gates.
3. On roads with a large volume of motor traffic during the night, the signs referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this article shall be adequately illuminated or provided with reflectors or reflecting material.
4. At level-crossings equipped with gates or half-gates, the extension of such gates or half-gates across the road shall mean that no road-user may pass; the movement of gates or half-gates shall have the same meaning.
5. The gates and half-gates of level-crossings shall be painted in stripes of red and white or red and light yellow. Alternatively, the gates may be painted white or light yellow with a large central red disc. In order to make gates more visible at night they shall either be provided with red lights or red reflectors or red reflecting material or be illuminated by a floodlight whenever they are not fully open.
6. At all level-crossings without either gates or half-gates there shall be placed, in the immediate vicinity of the railway line, a sign in the form of a St. Andrew's cross (I, 10 and I, 11) or a rectangular signplate, on which this symbol is displayed against a neutral background. The St. Andrew's cross or in any case its lower arms, may be double if there are two tracks or more. It shall be painted in red and white or in red and light yellow.
7. In the case of level-crossings situated on local railways, on connecting-lines to factory sidings or on parts of railway lines assimilable to such connecting lines, especially in the case of roads of minor local traffic importance or where a level-crossing is coincident with a road intersection, each Contracting Party may:
outside built-up areas, make certain simplifications in or exceptions to the system laid down in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 of this article;
in built-up areas, apply whatever regulations it deems most appropriate in place of the provisions of paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 of this article.
2. The sign “Level-Crossing without Gates” (I, 9) shall be used as the approach sign for every level-crossing without either gates or half-gates.
3. On roads with a large volume of motor traffic during the night, the signs referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this article shall be adequately illuminated or provided with reflectors or reflecting material.
4. At level-crossings equipped with gates or half-gates, the extension of such gates or half-gates across the road shall mean that no road-user may pass; the movement of gates or half-gates shall have the same meaning.
